LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 8/18/2009

Brett Favre is making headlines today, and as a Minnesota Vikings fan I’m not sure whether to be ecstatic or terrified.  So instead, I combed our blogosphere in the hopes that something would prove distracting.  I was not disappointed.  The individuals responsible for the “single largest reported data breach in U.S. history” were indicted yesterday, and Security, Privacy and the Law discussed the developments in that case.   There was also an interesting post from Dane Johnson that you should definitely check out for yourself.  Enjoy.
